Medical Malpractice

Medical Negligence or "Medical Malpractice" is an area of the law that has to do with allegations of wrongdoing by a medical professional, a hospital, medical physicians or their medical staff. As part of any case, there are several elements that need to be proved in order to prevail in a medical negligence case. Medical negligence actions can also be brought against hospitals, nurse practitioners and registered nurses and other medical staff. The plaintiff (often the victim) has to prove that 1) the doctor, medical physician, or staff ("defendant") owed that person a "duty of care"; 2) that the defendant violated the applicable "standard of care"; 3) the person suffered a "compensable injury"; and 4) the injury was "caused in fact and proximately" by the substandard conduct of the defendant.
